Life seems tough enough ... but then her older-than-average mother announces that she's pregnant and Gabby's world turns upside down.
At first Gabby is determined to have nothing to do with the unexpected arrival. But when the baby arrives it brings with it chaos and Gabby's family start unravelling around her ...
